So, Singapore.  So much to see, do and eat, and so little time to do it all in!  Thanks to some very helpful friends back home we were armed with our own little version of the lonely planet.  We'd already booked our hostel so we jumped from the Melaka bus to a local bus.  Once at the hostel we found out that our booking was not quite right shall we say.  So for the first night we were given our own room and very odd it was too - a dou...

Once again we don't dare disappoint with our epic tales of travel in south east Asia - this time not due to a shoddy bus, a dangerous driver, an unknown arrival time - but due to our own lack of patience!! We decided not to wait for the direct bus from Jerantut to Melaka, oh no, we took option B...... this involved a change of bus no less than 4 times - unbelievably still getting us to our destination quicker than waiting for the direct, and only costing us a...

And so on to our next milestone - Taman Negara National Park, the oldest rainforest in the world - we're not quite sure how anyone knows this, but who are we to argue!!! For once a relatively painless journey and all organised from our hostel in the Cameron Highlands. A rather random drop off at a hotel for a change of bus and to have lunch left us a little confused, but on we went, until the next unplanned stop that is! This time to fill out our passes for t...
